Yeah, this was just for fun, didnt think it would survive the nights in the 50s and 40s that we have had. Might try a cover at night but thinking I would rather just start a plant under lights in the barn "office".
I was hoping someone would say "let it ride" she might make it.

Sheep do just fine on less than ideal pasture. About a quarter of my total grazing area is relatively steep, relatively poor pasture, it definitely could support a cow in the worst areas but the sheep manage.
Give it a shot. If you are moving cattle daily, sheep should be a breeze.

I agree that part of the plan for division and control is to increase the power of labels and definitions. I just dont have an issue using the words.

2023-09-27 19:25:42

- reply

Didnt finish the note...as for not defining things, including myself...definitions, I think, are a requisite for a healthy, functioning society. I wasnt labeling or defining as a pejorative at all. Thats why I started with common current definition.
I hear what you are saying about labels and definitions but when speaking in generalities you gotta use words that have meaning. Most people know what right and left are in todays context. I am sure you understand what I mean by leftist, as do the people on the podcasts I follow. They often mention the left as who they are and identify with. I enjoy many of their episodes and think many of the folks they have on are doing important work.

Common current definition.

2023-09-27 13:18:00

Is it me or is the leftist end of the spectrum of local food / regen ag / permaculture the most toxic and condescending place to visit?
I just dont get the same energy from the anarchists, "centrists", apolitical, or even "conservatives". To be fair though, maybe I am not looking in the right places.

I never understood what all the "I need to watch what I say" talk was on podcasts. I always listened on Podcast Addict. Started playing with Fountain now. It took me awhile to realize that it seems a large marjority of people use apple or spotify for listening to podcasts. I dont think some podcasters even know that they wont get "banned" outside of the big podcast platforms. Its odd.

I was hoping to get quite a few trees in the ground during the dormant season this year. Just started the process...trees can be pricey. Looking for a place that ships bare root right now to save costs.
I was looking at planting everything from support species to fruit and nut trees.
I am sure I can find a bareroot seedling for under 20 USD.

Took me a second but I found the episode briefly mentioned near the tail end of this one. Apparently Podcast Addict only lets me go back 2 years.
I believe John referenced the episode and it was worth going back and finding it.
After a few minutes I realized that I had listened to this one way back when but it was worth a second take.
Great episode, great story, lots of value...

They say that chickens are the "gateway drug" of farm animals.
I think that they have been the "gateway drug" to voluntarism/anarchism or at the least gateway to libertarianism the last few years as more people have tried to get backyard chickens and been denied by their local gubment.
The idea that you cant have a handful of hens in a backyard is ridiculuous.
Where I am at they have strange calculations for how many animals per acre if you have under 3 acres. I think a dog equals 3 chickens. As long as you have at least 1 acre...I think. Its weird.
Sad.
Glad you got those beds going though, they look great.

Yeah...I usually fall out pretty quick. The boys down at the fiat mine dont always like it.
I even forgot to replace an injured player last year! I caught hell for that. Luckily the league commisioner is pretty obsessed during the season so he gently reminds me when it appears that I have forgotten to check my lineup.
Honestly, I think I enjoy changing my team name and pic throughout the season to correspond with the latest conspiracy more than playing.

2023-09-01 14:54:33

Some days I check my timeline too much...like a true dopamine addict. I guess the upside is that I am not searching for news of impending doom or clickbait trigger stories. Its still easy to avoid all that here.
Some days I barely check at all.
Thats probably a good thing and speaks to how this whole thing works.

Probably an unpopular opinion on here but I still dont think its coming this year. I think that they are holding it in their backpocket until the time is right. I am trying to ask myself, when will it best benefit the donor class? Thats when it goes down. I could be missing how it would benefit them right now but I just cant see it yet. I am sure someone smarter than me could tell me why it would be good this year though.
Its definitely going to happen at some point. If you had told someone 5 years ago that btc was being tracked on CNBC and that they were going to be having quasi-serious discussions about it on air they would have told you that you were crazy.

Lambs are on the trailer for their last and first trailer ride in the morning.
Having some slow cooked lamb shanks as my reward. Shanks are seasoned and placed on a bed of mini carrots, slow cooked all day in the crockpot.
The carrots are fantastic, theres something special about root vegetables simmered in fat.
I think lamb shanks are underrated. Forgot to grab a picture before I started smashing it...late night.

This is one of the issues...a lack of explanation as to how and why the images are generated the way that they are.
Easy to say its fake because...well it kind of is. Its not a "photo". Its something else. Most of these beautiful images are altered by artists at NASA. They take the data yes, but there are artists working there to produce many of the images.
Looking forward to the day that we can get clear images of things like this from space. There is tremendous beauty out there to be sure.
What a wild time to be alive.

Got the big ram out as well. Still not sure if he will be processed on farm or if he will get a second chance at life on another farm. Going to put put some feelers out...I'd rather have him go onto another farm.
One more sorting to go at some point in the next few months as I cull some of the older ewes and possibly a few more lambs.
Dont think that I want to go into winter with 14 head.
